One of the first steps of data acquisition on this ship is deploying the streamers. After a day of travel, the streamers were let out to begin the data collection process. The teams got a little extra practice in deploying them after telemetry problems near the start of the streamers required us to pull about 3000 meters worth of this heavy yellow “string” back onto the boat to fix. Good thing we caught it! While the extra work may be unwelcome, the team was glad to fix it and get the data right. After 17 hours, the 6000 meters of streamer is ready to go.
